Short Trim For Shih Tzu - Pt 2
This is part 2 of three by spanielmom93, in this video she will show you how to clip the body of any dog really but this happens to be a Shih Tzu and they are done the same way as all other all over hair cuts.
Spanielmon93 is a professional groomer and these are questions asked by her clients :
Q : What size blade do you use? #10? #40? do you ever use a comb attachment?
A : On her body I used a #5 blade. I would never take the body any shorter then a #10. On face and sanitary area’s I would only use a #10or15. If your dog is really matted I suggest a #7 or 10 depending on how matted. Yes I do use snap on combs but they snap on over my regular #10/15blade. I can only use combs when the dog is not matted.
Q : TY for this great video, is going to help me a lot. I have a Lhasa Apso and is kind of grumpy median size dog (15 pounds). Do you think it is fine he take breaks… or is better I finish soon the grooming… I dont want he can feel I am tense doing this job. :)
A : I would try to do the things he doesn’t mind first then give him a break and then at the end tackle the things he really doesn’t like then when you are done give lots of praise and treats. 
Good luck and let me know how it goes!
